The condition described by ICD-10 code V64.7 refers to physical injuries sustained by an individual who, while being an occupant of a heavy transport vehicle, was involved in a collision with another heavy transport vehicle or bus. These incidents usually occur in a traffic accident setting. The severity and nature of the injuries can greatly differ, depending on the specifics of the accident such as the speed of the vehicles involved, the occupant's position inside the vehicle, and whether appropriate safety measures were used. Injuries may range from minor bruises or fractures to more severe outcomes like traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, or internal organ damage. The prognosis for these injuries varies widely and depends on immediate emergency response and appropriate medical care. Despite the physical nature of these injuries, psychological impacts resulting from such accidents, such as post-traumatic stress disorder, are also recognized.
